johnny rebel – for bales lyrics
[1]
we all went down to new orleans,
for bales, for bales;
we all went down to new orleans,
for bales, says i;
we all went down to new orleans,
to get a peep behind the scenes,
“and we’ll all drink stone blind,
johnny fill up the bowl”.
[2]
we thought when we got in the “ring”,
for bales, for bales;
we thought when we got in the “ring”,
for bales, says i;
we thought when we got in the “ring”,
greenbacks would be a dead sure thing,
“and we’ll all drink stone blind,
johnny fill up the bowl”.
[3]
the “ring” went up, with bagging and rope,
for bales, for bales;
upon the “black hawk” with bagging and rope,
for bales, says i;
went up “red river” with bagging and rope,
expecting to make a pile of “soap”,
“and we’ll all drink stone blind,
johnny fill up the bowl”.
[4]
but taylor and smith, with ragged ranks,
for bales, for bales;
but taylor and smith, with ragged ranks,
for bales, says i;
but taylor and smith, with ragged ranks,
burned up the cotton and whipped old banks,
“and we’ll all drink stone blind,
johnny fill up the bowl”.
[5]
our “ring” came back and cursed and swore,
for bales, for bales;
our “ring” came back and cursed and swore,
for bales, says i;
our “ring” came back and cursed and swore,
for we got no cotton at grand ecore,
“and we’ll all drink stone blind,
johnny fill up the bowl”.
[6]
now let us all give praise and thanks,
for bales, for bales;
now let us all give praise and thanks,
for bales, says i;
now let us all give praise and thanks,
for the victory gained by general banks,
“and we’ll all drink stone blind,
johnny fill up the bowl”.
